Born in Riverwest.

More Than
A Coffee Shop.

The Daily Bird began as a neighborhood pop-up and grew into a permanent gathering place on Center Street. Owner and artist Dan Zwart created the shop as a tribute to his daughters, Dayle and Birdie—and as a daily reminder that every morning brings another chance to begin again.

The result is unmistakable: bright yellow walls, handmade signs, serious coffee and a space that feels alive with local character.
